12-Team UNO - MLB107431 Topic

Since attempts by toddleduc and I both stalled at about 16-17 players, I'm going to give a 12-team UNO a shot. I'm not a big fan of 12-team leagues, but it appears to be the only way we can get this most-interesting draft going in Live. Each owner will have two chances to pick first in a round, with odd rounds bring started by different owners and even rounds going in reverse order from the preceding round. The starting owner in each odd round will be varied to balance the picks, and every team will pick twice in each of the 12 draft slots. The owner who goes first in a round determines the team for that round, and each owner has to pick a player from that franchise unless he uses one of two special cards (see below) to choose a different player or team. You must use a player's season from the franchise under which he was drafted. For example, if the team is Arizona Diamondbacks and you take Randy Johnson, you have to use one of Johnson's Diamondback seasons. Players are exclusive, so in this example Johnson's NY Yankees, Seattle, etc. seasons could not be used.

Each owner gets one REVERSE CARD and one WILD CARD. The Reverse allows you to change the franchise being used for the current round, and must be played while your pick is on the clock. If you pick late, you cannot use the Reverse in that round. There is no limit to the number iof Reverses that can be used in a given round. If you play a Reverse card, you must pick a player from that franchise. You also must pick a player from the franchise you choose when you go first in a round. The Wild Card allows you to choose any player not already selected, from any eligible franchise. Eligible franchises for this version of UNO will be all that played from 1950 on, with a handful of earlier franchises selected to give us more than enough for all Reverses to be used. Round 25 is a freebie to pick anyone in the database that hasn't already been picked, with the order to be determined by Wild Card use (last to use the Wild Card picks first in Round 25; first to use it picks last). Round 25 selections can be any player from an eligible franchise who has not already been chosen. If a player's franchise is not listed as eligible, those seasons of a player cannot be used. Round 26 will be a draft of stadiums, with the choices limited to teams that have been selected either to start a round or with a Reverse.$120 million Salary Cap

Players Are ExclusiveDraft Procedures Example-
Round 1 begins, say Steve has the first overall pick and chooses the Yankees & Babe Ruth. Everyone following Steve in Round 1 picks someone from the Yankees. We get down to the 8th pick in Round 1 and TheTaint REVERSES teams to the Atlanta Braves and picks Greg Maddux. Now everyone after the 8th pick picks a player from the Atlanta Braves. Josh at Pick 21 doesn’t want a Brave left on the board and uses a Wild Card and picks Ty Cobb. Everyone left in Round 1 still picks an Atlanta Brave unless they choose to use their Wild Card or a Reverse.
